It smells like fish
Tsukiji is the largest fish and seafood market of the world, actually, it is one of the largest markets of the world of any kind. Located in Tokyo bay, it is organized in inner and outer markets: the first for buying, the second for eating. Either you manage being there at 4am for the tuna auction or before 11am to watch all-the-creatures-of-the-vast-ocean for sale, don’t miss it before it moves out of the city in 2018!
Nose-to-tail eating: with tuna fishes nothing goes to waste.
How many packages can you prepare with one 680 Kg tuna fish?
Death on the table … but life still crawling below it …
In the outer market, dry shrimps, fishy fishes and fish soups!

Not all is Geisha
For their 20th birthday, Japanese girls dress kimonos and walk the streets of Kyoto (and to a lesser extent of Tokyo). Much rarer is to meet a Geisha. It happened in Kyoto, just before she quickly disappeared in a taxi after a special evening at the restaurant.
Kyoto’s motto: dress (kimonos) ’til you drop

Reopening
The Gotthard mountain pass got cleaned of snow and reopened after the winter break.
A sunny opportunity to drive to the wonderful inner Switzerland …
